It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Lois Lane—in person
By Jimmy Olsen
Daily Planet Cub Reporter
Before Sandy Hill, before Mary Richards, before Brenda Starr even, who was the newswoman of every aspiring reporter’s dreams?
Give you a hint: she had this friend who spent half his time jumping out of windows in his blue long johns.
It was Noel Neill, of course: who, disguised as Lois Lane, star reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet, fought a never-ending battle to find out who Superman really was beneath that steely exterior, and just what made him so (goshdarn) unflappable.
And who, disguised as nobody but herself, will put in a personal appearance Saturday as part of a two-night Superman festival put on by Delta Kappa Alpha (DKA), cinema fraternity.
Friday night the nostalgia-mongers will show two hours of solid, classic Super reruns.
Then on Saturday it will be Lois herself, telling about her experiences as costar of the series. The program will include an audience-participation period, with audience members acting out original Superman scripts; a question-and-answer period and another Superman episode.
Actually, Noel Neill started out in the newspaper business when she was young. Her father was a newsman, and before she became an actress, she wrote some articles for Women’s Wear Daily.
Then Bing Crosby discovered her and gave her a singing job. Later she was signed by Paramount Studios and appeared in movies including The
Greatest Show on Earth and The Music Man.
But it was as Lois Lane that she achieved her fame, as she pursued the man with the red “S” on his chest, while he defended “Truth, justice and the American way.”

At least 35% of the university faculty have responded favorably to academic collective bargaining, the executive committee of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) said this week.
If implemented, collective bargaining would allow an agent of the faculty to negotiate with the administration for increased benefits and representation.
“With collective bargaining we can negotiate from a recognized legal position,” a committee member said.
The faculty will have an additional opportunity to designate interest in collective bargaining in a mailing this month.
The committee said the response will dictate if an election for the bargaining agent will be held. “It is not an impossibility, but more a possibility of having an election this year,” a member said.
With at least 30% of the fulltime faculty backing collective bargaining, the AAUP could petition the National Labor Relations Board for an official academic collective bargaining election now, but the association wants to be sure of strong support.
In such an election, the faculty would have a choice of selecting the AAUP as the bargaining agent, or an intervening agent that had proof of a 30% faculty support to bargain, or no agent, retaining the status quo.
The committee backs collective bargaining because it puts the faculty on an equal basis in
consultation and bargaining.
But Paul Hadley, interim academic vice-president, stressed the importance of open and cooperative resource management, rather than adversary partisan settlements.
“With the openness now prevailing, the administration provides for appropriate input. The addition of another force is not needed,” Hadley said.
“It would be undesirable because such an adversary relationship will damage morale, whereas open collegial, shared decisions improve morale.”
The AAUP says the association is a collegial-oriented group, not a group of lawyers. As one member said, “The problem is that there is a girth of information and misunderstanding, especially about the differences between outside and university collective bargaining.
‘The AAUP, as an agent for collective bargaining, is supervised and run by faculty. Outside organizations are run by lawyers. For academic progress we should have collective bargaining.”
The AAUP has three major concerns: salary, academic freedom and tenure and faculty governance.
The main issue is salary negotiations. Through collective bargaining the faculty has legal status, while at present, they are just an advisory board.
Last year, faculty compensation at the university increased 6% to 8%, somewhat above the
6.4% average compensation increase across the nation.
“This does represent a sub-
stantial effort, but relative to other top-paying colleges and universities, the university lost ground,” one member of the AAUP said.
The professorship ranking in faculty compensation dropped some 26 places between the 1973-74 and 1974-75 school years.
But Hadley said the increase for this school year was above
the national means and was, at least, “a positive act.”
“We wish salaries were higher, and our rate of increase is encouraging. We hope now we gained in rankings,” Hadley said.
But the AAUP would like to see better results, such as those accomplished by Temple University and St. Johns University.
The AAUP chapter at Temple
University negotiated a salary increase of 17.2% for 1974-75.
The executive committee also reported that generally, faculty salaries have increased at institutions represented by AAUP chapters, by rates of increase greater than both the rate of increase prior to establishing collective bargaining, and greater than the national average rate of increase.

Day-care center location OK’d
By Nancy Babka

The day care task force has approved a location for a day-care center to accommodate between 66 and 75 children of students, faculty and staff members, said Virginia Zoitl, chairman of the task force.
On Oct. 2 the task force visited an alternate location for the center, which had been suggested by Anthony P. Lazzaro, vice-president for business affairs.
“We consider the newly proposed location—it is on University Avenue between 27th and 28th Streets, adjacent to the USC Early Childhood Training Center and the Kerckhoff Building (part of the Psychology Department)—to be much more desirable than the originaL site near the Married Students Housing Complex,” Zoitl said.
The seeking of an alternate location was the result of student dissent that caused administration officials to reconsider the original site.
The originally proposed location of the day-care center, which would have accommodated 65 children, was to have been located on 37th Place, next to the Married Students Housing Complex.
However, the Married Students Housing Committee submitted a formal complaint about the proposed site to President John R. Hubbard in May, 1975, and asked for reconsideration of the day-care
center’s location because of noise and pollution levels of the location.
Several weeks before the presentation of the complaint, Arnold McMahon, a graduate student and chairman of the Married Students Housing Committee, told the Daily Trojan that the members of the committee also said that the proposed site was too close to the Married Students Housing Complex.
Zoitl said, “The alternate site is better because it isn’t a major thoroughfare—therefore there will be less noise and pollution.
“Furthermore, it seems to be situated near where there are other child facilities. The John Tracy Clinic for deaf children is just a few blocks away on Adams Boulevard, and the Los Angeles Child Guidance Center is nearby, too.”
Zoitl said, “We are going to inform Francis Feldman (president of the President’s Advisory Council) that we will endorse the PAC’s recommendation that President Hubbard approve the site.”
When the formal recommendation is made, Hubbard and the Board of Trustees will make the final decision.
Zoitl said, “I don’t think that there will be any problem in getting the recommendation approved. The Married Students Housing Committee approves of the new location, as does the task force—and since they were the only ones in conflict, no conflict remains.”

Bikes need a break, too
The beginning rider on campus plays the quick-ride-to-class game clumsily: both hands sweaty and tight on the handgrips, body hunched abnormally forward and eyes open to a scared stare.
The walker is usually startled by the born-to-ride biker. The pedaler sits on a skinny-wheeled frame with a funny French name on the side. Then he sits straight up, humming softly, either holding the morning paper or sipping coffee. His feet dangle comfortably and he wheels straight toward everyone.
Subtle twists of his body, however, zoom the bike around, in between, but never through anyone. And yes, sometimes they take a rest in Alumni Park, with bike nearby. DT photo by Susan Struthers.
